Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals
Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.Abstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Rapid Evolution in a Coral Population Following a Mass Mortality Event
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Globally, corals face an increased frequency of mass mortality events (MMEs) as populations experience repeated marine heatwaves which disrupt their obligate algal symbiosis. Despite greater occurrences of MMEs, the relative roles of the environment, host, and symbiont genetic variation in survival, subsequent recovery, and carry‐over effects ...

In situ photobiology of corals over large depth ranges: A multivariate analysis on the roles of environment, host, and algal symbiont [PDF]
, 2008 We applied a multivariate analysis to investigate the roles of host and symbiont on the in situ physiological response of genus Madracis holobionts towards light.

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Global warming and rising sea temperatures are pushing many reef‐building coral species towards extinction. As thermal tolerance in corals is partially heritable, identifying genes under thermal selection is critical for targeted biodiversity management.

Discovery of symbiotic nitrogen fixation and chemoautotrophy in cold-water corals [PDF]
, 2015 Cold-water corals (CWC) are widely distributed around the world forming extensive reefs at par with tropical coral reefs. They are hotspots of biodiversity and organic matter processing in the world’s deep oceans.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.Coral broodstock were phenotyped using a rapid heat stress assay and ranked according to their performance (photochemical efficiency). Selectively breeding the broodstock based on their performance did not produce larvae with enhanced heat tolerance. Created in BioRender. Lamb, A. (2025) https://BioRender.com/zcgk0g6.

The Coral Holobiont: A Brief Overview of Corals and Their Microbiome
EDISCaribbean and tropical western Atlantic reefs have declined drastically since the 1970s. In some locales like the Florida Keys, the decline of branching corals approached 98%. These declines are widely attributed to recurring stressors such as high ocean temperatures and disease.
